I always found it ironic that we are to be fit, yet I've seen some pretty unhealthy food served in messes. Now it's PAYD I have been informed by someone in the know that they are banking on people eating chips and beans, as chips and beans have the lowest cost to the contractor. Eating unhealthy is cheaper. When eating in the mess turned into "hunt for the chicken, in your chicken curry" I stopped going.
I volunteer for Prostate Cancer UK to run awareness and information stands and talks. A couple of weeks ago I went to Tidworth for a health fair for the garrison. A packed lunch was provided by the MoD organisers. I'm not sure I've seen a less healthy collection of comestibles in years. The caterer was clearly still working to 1960s standards of healthy eating
